Salt Reduction

Salt is the primary source of sodium in the diet, with the processed food industry facing strong pressure to reformulate. Consuming excessive amounts of salt can significantly increase levels of sodium in the bloodstream and increases the risk of heart-related health problems. Processed foods often use salt as a key ingredient, therefore the industry faces pressure to lower the amount of salt by reformulating products.
